Unexpected ANSI sequence behavior in cmd.exe

[Zeek05]

Windows Terminal version

No response

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.675]

Other Software

cmd.exe

Steps to reproduce

Apply any SGR sequence that affects character attributes in cmd.

Expected Behavior

LEFT: You can see that the ANSI escape sequences in Windows Terminal are working as intended.

Actual Behavior

RIGHT: These changes are not propagating to CMD.exe, resizing the screen creates this bleeding effect.

This issue is related to #32

I had contacted MS support for this issue and they redirected me to this GitHub. I am not sure how this is relevant to Terminal but, I am using cmd.exe and this place seems the most relevant.

Edit: Why is the image so compressed? 😂

Good news! The code for Windows Terminal and the legacy console window are both here in this repository.

I bet you're seeing an issue we've since fixed, where attributes get extended across the screen when the window is resized. That was #32, and it applied to any text styling (color, underline, hyperlink, ...)

What is tat?

tat is an application I am developing.

Shortest explanation is, it simply sends the escape sequences to STDOUT.
So, when I do tat underline it's just emitting the underline escape sequence to stdout

I have the latest version of windows and conhost, I am not sure why the bug is persisting then? This was a screenshot yesterday..

Specifically for underlining, the program does the following:
printf("\x1b[4m");

On Windows Terminal, it works just as expected. However on conhost it is not.

Resizing terminal window works as %esc%[0m

Yea, this looks like a combo of #32 with {that one issue where we were initializing the buffer with the current attributes, not the default ones}. I'd reckon that the conhost changes to fix #32 aren't in 10.0.22000.675, but should be available in the next major Win11 release. (I don't know what that build number will be yet).

/dup #32
